feeling generally pretty crappy these days, and for once i'm glad my morning job is deadly boring; i basically sit in front of a computer and stare at the screen, waiting for work to pop-up at me from the real-time database...work that's rarely been there so far b/c of the summer. it started out as a nagging cough last week, but lately it's been getting worse, n i started feeling worse, so i took my temperature the other day and; slight fever @ 38C i think, so despite me not having full extended health coverage nemore, i reluctantly made an appointment to see the doctor. =( this time, i may actually have to pay for my drugs!!
guess it might be the temperature, too much time spent out in the sun/training. think it might've started off w/ those 2 days of swimming 2 weekends ago, plus the bricks i did almost every other day for the past week. the workouts are getting tougher, i'm pushing myself further, and i'm honestly getting a little more anxious about how well i'll do in the actual race. i mean, i haven't really been able to do a real "trial run" b/c i haven't found the time/space, but my conservative guess-timate puts me near the bottom of the pack in terms of finish times (based on results of previous triathlons w/ identical distances). really don't wanna overtrain though, that'd be nasty...to work hard n get all psyched up for it...n then only to get sick and have ur fitness level deteriorate just before the big day n then bomb it? not cool. <2 hours. that's my goal for now, seeing as how i've got the swim down at approximately 22min. and the run coming in at somewhere near the 25min. mark, add in possibly a 60min. bike leg, and then another few minutes to compensate for fatigue...so yeah under 2 hours. hopefully that might change as i get a bit more confident when i try n "peak" my training in August, but for now i think my body needs to take a week off (at least) n try to recover to full strength before starting it up again.
in other news...as fate would have it, my appointment was unexpectedly cancelled again today. i was pretty pissed when i heard, but after i thought about it, i shouldn't be. i'm friggin sick over here n pushing a fever, not exactly the best physical condition to be in for something like that, plus it'll give me a bigger window of time to get back into the pool to train, so i guess it worked out for the best. besides, spending a couple hours sitting around w/ your shirt off is definitely not the best way to get better if your sick. i just hope buddy gets his act together so i can hopefully finish off this piece before i'm friggin' 30 or something...yeesh. O_o
o yeah, i really wanna learn how to play drums too. been trying to use bobo as my practice pad:
